Stupid Fun by Richard McVey
Filed under: google, yahoo, search engines
We definitively put to rest the great debate over search engine supremacy. How? We started typing and watched ACTUAL search suggestions appear. It's now obvious to us—women are running Yahoo! See for yourself.

This doesn't show that yahoo is run by women. It could just mean that chauvinistic males tend to use the google search engine to look up perverted things more often.

Hmm, tried the above with Bing - default settings on IE - now that's a really sad search engine, reads like what matters to Ballmer:
9. No results
8. No results
7. No results
6. Coconut oil, colonix, computers, colic calm,
5. bibles
4. No results
3. No results
2. break destinations, skiing, break locations
1. No results
Decision engine - none of the above requires one
The most surprising was keying in "How do I get "
Google - a passport
Yahoo - a passport
Bing - pregnant (!!!) <- big decision!

actually, if you understand how "intellisense" and search engine works, you would realise that this can possibly imply that guys use google while women use yahoo.
the search entries are stored into the servers and indexed to provide suggestions, and they are ranked according to popularity.

BING stands for Bing Is Not Google

That is awesome... Clearly Yahoo is run by women. Google has it's finger(s) on the pulse of the male population.

just thinking that the "Filter search result" option might be turned off for Google and turned on for Yahoo when they did this "experiment"...

this was funny and actually a useful demographic study for search marketing types.
sort of like how the comments in response reveal maxim's demographic to largely be a user base of sophomoric meat-heads. i read the comments and instantly felt stupider. der.

On the very first one they typed g on the end of the goolge one, but not on the yahoo one. If you just look up "how do i convince my" it says "how do I convince my parents to let me get a dog"
Take that, liar.
